TDS-16489U's hardware specifications are designed to meet the needs of environment demanding high performance, simplified IT management, uninterrupted services, and virtualization capabilities. With its flexibility in expanding its memory (up to 1TB) and capacity (up to 1,152TB), the NAS acts more than storage, but also a computing-intensive machine.

BOOSTED PERFORMANCE

GPU Pass-through Supported

Now supporting GPU Pass-through, the TDS-16489U allow the usage through virtual machines/containerized apps to operate software frameworks for Big Data management and analysis such as Apache™ Hadoop® or Apache Spark™. With OpenCL and Microsoft® DirectX 11 Compute Shader, the GPU is used for accelerating applications in tasks such as transcoding and 3D animation + video rendering.

TDS-16489U acts as a cost-efficient dual-processor server for hosting virtual machines and accommodating virtualization storage in one box. QNAP Virtualization Station is a virtualization platform based on KVM (Kernel Virtual Machine) infrastructure, allowing it to run Windows®, Linux®, UNIX® and Android™ virtual machines (VM) for multiple operating systems. Users can also utilize QNAP's Container Station to run or develop container applications via Docker® or LXC as a lightweight virtualization deployment.

The TDS-16489U supports VMware® ESXi and Citrix® XenServer, and is compatible with Microsoft® Hyper-V® and Windows Server 2012®, benefiting flexible deployment and management in virtualized environment. Virtualization StationContainer Station
